Great views from the monument and in the fall good birding when the winds from the North West, lots of birds and raptors some days. Spotted 4 Bald Eagles in 2 hours last visit.
Visit the monument museum which features historical artifacts related to the history of Washington Monument and the Battle of South Mountain
The views are extremely very awesome
